A slight change to the day has been sent to me by our ride leader Mr Alex Beattie
Start time has been moved forward by 15mins. So meeting time is now 8.30 to be leaving at 9am. A normal ride brief will be carried out in the about 10mins before leaving
The only other item is to make you all aware that when you are having lunch make sure you fill up with fuel if you need it as there are no stops until getting back to Petersfield.
That’s it
Have a great day out

Hello again…it is time for the June 2019 EOM announcement.
Alex Beattie will be leading this months run. Having done this before it is a great day out
All welcome, indeed encouraged (newbies especially, but have you had an assessment ride ?).

Winchester Rd, Petersfield GU32 3BSNotes: Weather:BackMarker System: Please make sure you are fully conversant with the rules of the “BACKMARKER SYSTEM“. Following these correctly is vital to the smooth running of the day & reduces the risk of losing someone, or everyone. Details of the BM system are on our RoSPASMART website. If you’re unsure on the day, ask one of the attending Instructors. They will be more than happy to clarify any issues you have. Hi-Viz: If you wear hi-viz, please ensure it is not Orange as this is reserved for the ‘backmarker’ during our ride-outs. We appreciate you may normally wear an orange hi viz whilst riding. However, feedback identified that some found it confusing when in the middle of the group to see two or more riders with the orange hi viz. So, in an effort to avoid confusion and markers leaving their post prematurely only the back-marker to wear orange. Thank you
Please be fully fuelled and ready to go prior to the start of the day.
Have a safe enjoyable day
Ride Smart – Ride Safe !
